[semtex]

[↓R↑LYB]

Down to 185. IF is that truth

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

dropped 6 pounds so far and my lifts have gone up

 

[Roid Jones]

I lost 30 pounds once cause I basically stopped eating over a 2 to 3 week period. I was kind of in a depressed state during that time though..

Why did you stop eating?

 

[Carolina Slim]

Fast going good today... Nothing but water and diet drink. I got myself a four egg scramble from the caf, along with two turkey sandwiches my wife made me, that I'ma tear down around 3:00... That should have a nikka ready for tonight, doing deads and barbell rows. Back workouts tear a nikka down real bad.

Ok, need some advice, if I'm just starting this for the first time, and looking to drop at least 20-30 lbs, would y'all recommend the 24 hour fast or the 16 & 8 fast I saw somebody mentioned? And if it's the 24 hour fast, how many days per week should I do this? Thanks in advance.

Are we cuttinnnnn??




Hell yeah, he-he-helllll yeaaahh


my appetite is already decreasing.

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

^Yeah

At least im busy with my research tho so im not thinkin about food really. Keeping your eating window right can be hard as fukk when you've got a lot to do sometimes.

I say start with the 16/8 protocol and work your way from there. As you become acclimated to it, you might find yourself being able to go longer and longer without eating. Honestly, I could have gone much longer than I did today (18 hours). I'm not sure how many times to do the 24 hour fast though.

Yea I would start out with the 16/8 first. Then see how it fits your lifestyle. Stick with what works for you. I started out doing 24hour fasts twice a week, then recently switched over to eating once a day.

I'm trying to get to that point, breh... props.

When you eat once a day, are you still basically doing a 24 hour fast, like eating at the same time every day? Or does it matter?

Meh...I think I'm eating too much in my window, I put on a couple pounds over the past couple weeks

Thanks. Sh!t aint easy. lol I usually eat at 7pm every night, just due to how my schedule is. I hit the gym at 5 after work. After that I'm ready to smash on somethin turrible. lol I usually eat one big meal, a shake and some fruit. I'll maybe stop eating at 11pm, then eat again at 7 the next day.

Today is gonna be hard as f^ck. On the ride to work I wanted to peel off into Einsteins and grab a bacon/egg/cheddar onion bagel with a iced sugar cookie or half the menu....but I held it down. lol

 

[ThaBoyBam]

I smell you. So basically u fast from 11 pm to 7 pm. I'm actually gonna try and do that today. I had a green smoothie around 11:00 last night, and I told my wife not to make me a sandwich. I'm gonna do legs around 2:00, then I got some paperwork here in my cube to keep me occupied. I'm gonna take my car to have a tire replaced, then grab some grub, I figure that will take me to around 7:00. Usually once I get past initial "hunger", I'm good to go. It's like my body will start fiending for food, but once I give it the , then it's like and falls back.
